Default New Vossen CV3 Wheels for the new ride.

Vossen CV3 20x8.5 and 20x11





245/30/20 front and 305/25/20 out back, I'm going to have to be careful with all the potholes around town and these skinny tires



Liking these a lot more than the black OZs that were on it when I bought it.
Not to mention how much easier they are to clean.

I actually like your old wheels better but these look pretty good too. Tires are a bit on the thin side tough.

^matches stock size for total diameter and there's only one tire that I could get that might have a slightly bigger sidewall and that's a $900 pirelli 325/25/20

They look a lot thinner in those shots because its so overcast and a camera phone shot I guess. There's some gap but I'm not in a lowering mood anymore.

^thanks, I absolutely love it. Favorite car out of the 18+ I've had over the years. I think my second favorite was my 2008 350z and third would go to the Cayman I had for 10 months of last year before getting this. The Cayman was great but it just didn't have the fun factor that the Z had, nor did it have the beast mode that the 911 has. I'm a car ***** and a wheel *****, but I'm really liking this combo and this one may actually stick around for more than 3 years. Of course if I come across a good raise or a well priced 911 GTS then that might change my mind haha.

You're not in a lowering mood *yet* Once a mod bug, always a mod bug.

Very true but I started to hate the way my Z rode after it was dropped for about six months. Roads around here are uneven so I just bounce around all the time. This car has PASM so its 10mm lower than the standard car. Not much but its something.

^if that was the case I'd be showing you my new Ferrari haha I just realized that all the houses pictured look identical. Mines actually nothing like those in the back, I think the builder got lazy.

lol.. tell me about it. i run those Pirellis on my Forgestar F14s and they are unreal pricey.

I literally JUST bought a set like yours ( K3 Projekt.. i believe they are even made by Vossen) and went w similar HAnkook tires to have something that i could replace for 240 bucks versus 600 a piece.

That being said, they are no match for the performance of the giant pirelli.. but sometimes compromise is required in life lol.
